State of the City Address Available Online Census Takers are in our Neighborhoods The U.S. 2020 Census is underway. More than 84% of Arden Hills’ households have already been counted. Great job! If you haven't completed the survey, you may get a visit from a Census Bureau employee. Census takers will wear masks and follow local public health guidelines when they visit your home. Census takers are hired from your area, and their goal is to help you and everyone in your home be counted in the 2020 Census. If someone visits your home this year to collect information for the 2020 Census, check to make sure they have a valid ID badge with their photograph, a U.S. Department of Commerce watermark, and an expiration date. Census workers may also carry Census Bureau bags and other equipment with the Census Bureau logo. Night to Unite Canceled for 2020 In the interest of the health and safety of all citizens, the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office has canceled participation in the 2020 Night to Unite event. The event is traditionally celebrated the first Tuesday in August, was earlier postponed to October and is now canceled. The Sheriff’s Office hopes to come back to a bigger and better event next year when Night to Unite will be on Tuesday, August 3, 2021. Round Lake Cleanup Round Lake is in need of cleanup due to decades of sediment contamination by the U.S. Army. A document describing potential cleanup strategies is nearing completion and is expected to be submitted to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) this fall. The next step will be for the Army to choose its preferred cleanup strategy and to place it on public notice for a 30-day comment period. This is expected to happen before the end of the year. The vision of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (owner of Round Lake) is to have a fully functioning unit of the National Wildlife Refuge System, by providing quality habitat for focal species to promote their conservation and management and providing priority public use opportunities where appropriate and compatible.
